Jesus Christ. We need regulations on corporate LLM use NOW.

Given the inherent unreliability of LLM (called AI in the article), how can we go about exploiting this to purchase ridiculously discounted tickets?
Delta is not cool enough to fly the same flag as Jack Sparrow.
Nice, I am cheap as fuck and really don't care much about travel. If I convince the AI of this maybe I can a $10 plane ticket. Otherwise no sale AI, you hear me? $10 is my limit. That's all I am willing to pay.
Yes. Yes it did. In the age of Caesar. That was when consolidation of wealth destroyed democracy. The prosperity that followed was largely due to the momentum that had developed previously. It was limited by communications in particular. Ultimately the consolidation of wealth lead to all of that wealth abandoning Italy for the Dardanelles in the long run. The wealthy are the biggest traitors.
Exploitation is nominal because of inherited wealth. Inherited wealth is not meritocratic. Business acumen is not hereditary. The grossly incompetent turn to exploitation as their only form of reliable investment. Without a meritorious societal structure in place, stagnation recession and collapse are the future.
If you know the history of advertising, "hacking our brains" is actually kind of amusing. Ad companies have been employing psychologists ever since the 1950s to figure out how to induce feelings - insecurity, envy, warmth, guilt... you name it, that translate to desire for a product. Classic example is implying that products will increase your sex appeal - not by literally telling you that, but by showing you their little scenarios where using Product X suddenly makes someone hot. Ooooooh, says the young blond in the halter top, you had your taxes done by H&R Bloch? Let me loosen these panties!
Using data about a person to gauge what kind of a deal they might be willing to make is a centuries=old negotiating technique known as "negotiating". Sales people and other business people are always looking for better ways to do it, and now they've found AI to help them. Nobody's hacking anybody's brain, they're just putting expert salesmanship in a box.
That is insane sophistry to justify criminal exploitation through dishonest scales in a market. If you cannot sell an honest transparent product you are a criminal. I do not bargain with sales twats in any space. Those are for emotional nonsense when people need to feel better about themselves.
Exploiting me though the sale of any part of me, including my digital presence at any point in time, is digital slavery of the 21st century. This system is an attempt to manipulate and exploit me. Such criminal behavior is turgid dystopianism. I wish all involved a long and painful bankruptcy.
